I've been overwhelmingly addicted to this game on PS4. The gameplay just pops to me. Still can't figure out what Fusion and Transmute do, though.

Fusion makes your mods stronger, but also makes them consume more mod slots. on the side of your mod card you'll see X amount of black pips, fusing grants XP (if you will) to the card thus allowing you to attain the next pip.

the strength of things to fuse goes:
Polarity (matching mod symbols)
Rareness
Other
(i think, its something like that. i just use fusion cores)

Fusion cores do as the name states and gives various amounts of 'XP' as determined by their pip level during the fusion process (use these if you're new)

Transmuting is like gambling. you give 4 of your mods in the hope of receiving a new better one....in my experience, don't do this...especially if you're new. save them mods cards yo

The last update went live the day before the PS4 launched so its unlikely. they are at least one update behind and working with sony on getting the clients in sync.

I imagine PS4 and PC will be gaming at the same time at some point during U11. PC rolls out hotfixes very quickly though, i don't know how hotfixes work with sony. maybe updates over X MB require QA testing and something that's X KB can be sent live at their discretion.
